Int’l effort key in containing Iran — CENTCOM commander

Aug 21,2022

AMMAN — An international effort and a whole-of-government approach that is inclusive of diplomatic engagement is required to contain Iran, which is the primary destabilising element in the Middle East, according to Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) General Michael “Erik” Kurilla. The US, Jordan, and militaries within the Middle East certainly have a shared interest in countering Iran’s proliferation of advanced conventional weapons and its support to proxies as Iran’s rapidly expanding military capabilities enable it to coerce its neighbours, threaten international trade, and exploit instability throughout the region, he said.
